Re: Fitness!

Meanwhile, as far as my less exciting weight loss journey, I'm happy to report that at least I've lost 25 lbs since June as of last week. :D

And somehow I broke 55,000 steps in a day last week as well. :slick: I should have known my OCD and obsessive personality would thrive on something like Fitbit.

I love and hate my Fitbit. In my workweek challenge (that I PM'd you about) we're in competition with our resident guitarist, who runs marathons on the reg. So he's always Averaging 110,000 steps a week. Which is bullshit, I beat him one week this year, because he lost his charger for 4 days out of the week. He still got 30,000 on that Friday though, so it was a close call :disappoint:
That is fucking insane! My brother always wins the Workweek Challenge with my mom and me because he works retail. It's often difficult for me to hit 10,000 because of being at this computer for so long every day/night, but I try. 30,000 would be unprecedented. I made 25,000 once and I'm pretty sure I won't hit it again anytime soon.
Play more Pokemon Go. Problem solved.
That definitely does help! I've been really slacking on it the past two weeks.

Yeah, it's been more difficult since I stopped teaching -- going to campus and running around makes it significantly easier to hit 10,000. When I'm not teaching (right now) and just doing research, I expect my numbers to continue decreasing although I'm going to try to avoid it. We'll see though.
